Ingredients
Main Components:
1 lb ground beef (or substitute with ground turkey or plant-based alternative)
2 cups frozen tater tots
6 large flour tortilla wraps
Cheese & Sauces:
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup Taco Bell chipotle sauce (adjust to taste)
Seasonings & Optional Toppings:
Salt and pepper to taste
Diced tomatoes (optional)
Chopped green onions (optional)
Cilantro (optional)
Instructions
-
Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Season with salt and pepper. Once fully cooked, remove from heat and set aside.
-
Cook the Tater Tots: While the beef is cooking, bake the tater tots according to the package instructions until golden and crispy.
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and Taco Bell chipotle sauce. Adjust the sauce to your taste.
-
Assemble the Burritos: Lay out the flour tortillas. In the center of each, add a portion of cooked beef, a few tater tots, and a generous sprinkle of cheddar and monterey jack cheese.
-
Add Sauce: Drizzle the chipotle sauce mixture over the cheese. Add optional toppings like diced tomatoes, green onions, and cilantro for extra flavor.
-
Wrap the Burritos: Fold in the sides of the tortilla and roll tightly to form a burrito.
-
Serve: Serve immediately, or toast the burritos in a skillet for 2 minutes on each side to crisp up the outside.
Notes
Vegetarian Option: Replace ground beef with a plant-based alternative, such as lentils or vegetarian meat substitutes.
Spicy Kick: Add extra jalapeƱos, hot sauce, or chili powder to the filling for more heat.
Swap the Tater Tots: Use hash browns or roasted potato cubes for a different texture.
Cheese Variations: Experiment with pepper jack for extra heat or mozzarella for a milder flavor.
